Series 1, Episode 3 - "We are the masters of Earth!"

The Daleks are back, and this time, they’ve conquered 22nd-century London! In this first official Hit or Miss: Doctor Who Dalek-themed episode, Mike and D.K. are coming back at you like a lone Dalek rising from the Thames. Joining the analysis are returning guest Will Templar and newcomer Cliff Chapman, and yes it's to conduct a full deep dive into The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Before diving into the serial though, the team discusses Doctor Who firsts and favourites before tackling the legendary Hit or Miss section. All of which will feature liberal doses of the metal pepperpots. Then, it's on to one of the most ambitious and iconic Doctor Who stories of all time. We’re covering everything: Daleks rolling through a shattered London, the surprisingly dark tone and themes of resistance, shocking heroic sacrifice, the sheer logistical madness of piloting a planet. We'll be dissecting iconic moments—from Robomen to Daleks rolling over Westminster Bridge, and, of course, the unforgettable farewell. We'll also touch on the legacy of the serial and its big-screen adaptation, as well as casting a more critical eye on things that may not have worked so well (looking at you, Slyther!). With deep analysis, personal reflections, and maybe a few tears shed over that goodbye, this episode is packed with everything a Doctor Who fan could want. The Daleks rule Earth—but is this serial a Hit or Miss? Tune in and find out, before you get captured for robotization!
